Fernando Vegas Torrealba has been serving on the Venezuelan Supreme Court (TSJ) since 2004. He serves on the TSJ Electoral Chamber and is an expert on the Venezuelan electoral (and judicial) system. He will be participating in the National Lawyers Guild’s Annual Law for the People Convention, taking place in Oakland.

Given the importance of the upcoming (December 6) parliamentary elections in Venezuela and the negative US main-stream media coverage of everything Venezuelan, we are fortunate to have Justice Vegas come to the Bay Area to explain the Bolivarian Constitution, its judicial system, and its highly acclaimed electoral system. He will also speak on illegal US government funding of opposition political NGOs and will give an update on the Leopoldo Lopez case and the border closures with Colombia—and how the judicial system is handling these issues.
